We had a fantastic time learning so much about Oxford University and some of the famous alumni, including CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien with Andrianna Basser! She was thoughtful and very knowledgeable about the areas of interest and went above and beyond to show us many beautiful and unique things about the compilations of the university and some of our favorite authors! Thank you Andrianna!!!

Having previously done an Inklings tour, I thought i knew what to expect. Our guide, Tom, blew through those expectations very quickly. His knowledge of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien was encyclopedic, and his ability to weave stories, dates, and places into an interesting narrative was unmatched. Our party of four included one librarian and three avid readers, all with a better-than-average knowledge of these two giants of twentieth century literature. This created a scintillating conversation in which each of us learned many interesting things. As an added treat, two of our group are into Harry Potter, and Tom was equally well versed in that world. The time flew by, and we were all surprised (and delighted) that our tour had gone well past our allotted time. Thanks Tom!.

We did the Oxford Harry Potter Insights Tour with Matias as our guide, and it was a fantastic experience. His knowledge was truly impressive: between anecdotes about J.K. Rowling, behind-the-scenes trivia from the films, and stories about Oxford's other famous writers (Tolkien, Lewis, Carroll), every stop had something interesting to share. Matias perfectly balanced anecdotes about Harry Potter with stories about Oxford and university life, which were exactly the two things we were most interested in. Highly recommended!

We had the most wonderful tour of Oxford with Tom, doing the Inspector Morse and Inspector Lewis tour, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Tom was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about Oxford and the shows. He knew so many interesting facts, not only about Inspector Morse and Inspector Lewis, but about Oxford itself, which made the tour so much more enjoyable. He even threw in some Harry Potter facts because he remembered that I love Harry Potter, which was such a lovely personal touch! Unfortunately, the weather took a turn and it started absolutely chucking it down with rain. Tom kindly gave me his umbrella and ended up getting soaked himself without complaining once. He also took some really lovely photos of me and my dad, making sure we had some special memories to take home with us. Eventually, the rain became so heavy that we had to cut the tour short, but Tom was so lovely and understanding throughout. His kindness, knowledge and enthusiasm really made the experience special despite the weather and he brought us to a lovely pub to end the tour. I would 100% recommend Tom to anyone looking to do an Inspector Morse or Inspector Lewis tour in Oxford. He was fantastic, and when I come back to Oxford, I’ll definitely be booking another tour with him! Thank you so much, Tom! ❤️
